Our hotel in Burgeis

We and our team

This is us

We are hosts through and through. Hoteliers with passion. True connoisseurs. We love the Obervinschgau region and its nature, appreciate good food and fine wines, and are enthusiastic about historical buildings and modern architecture. We live for what we do and can hardly wait to welcome you to our hotel in Burgeis.

We are a great team, and each of us knows what the other does best. Marc is a passionate chef and the head of the kitchen. He brings his knowledge from around the world into our cuisine. You will find Mara both in service and at the reception. As a sommelier, she is happy to assist you with wine recommendations. Together with Marlene, they are the hosts of the Weisses Kreuz – always present but never intrusive. Marlene is also a little mountain princess – she accompanies our guests on foot or by bike and gives excellent mountain tips. Thomas, on the other hand, prefers to stay in the background. The garden and the technical maintenance of the house are his domain. He also drives our guests through the beautiful Obervinschgau region with our hotel shuttle.

Our Team

Special places need special people. In our hotel in Burgeis, there are 45 of them. Most of our valued employees have been with us for many years. But there is also room for "young wild ones" and career starters at the Weisses Kreuz. Look forward to your stay at our hotel in Burgeis. Warm hosts, ambitious culinary artists, flexible all-rounders, and kind souls do everything they can to ensure that you have a truly wonderful time with us.

Friendly, competent, and helpful – that’s our team at the reception. The department is led by our organizational talent, Imelda, who has been with us for many years and knows the mountains of Obervinschgau like the back of her hand. She is supported by the lovely Sabine, who brings a refreshing energy to our reception with her cheerful and sincere nature. Also part of the team is our language talent, Carmen, whose many years of experience make her the epitome of calm and composure.
Young and dynamic – that’s our service team! The department is led by Andrea, a true people person, who delights our guests with her warm and professional manner. By her side is our dear Melanie, who has returned to the Weisses Kreuz after a short maternity break. When it comes to wine, you can count on our sommelier Carmen, whose refreshing approach will surely help you find the perfect glass. Our morning ray of sunshine, Michaela, takes care of all the delicious breakfast treats. Two pillars of our team for many years, Daniela and Evelyn, have mastered the balance between family life and the Weisses Kreuz. A new addition to the team is our cheerful Jana, always smiling and well on her way to becoming a certified sommelier. At the bar, Elias and Manuel will treat you to creative cocktails and fine whiskeys. In Mamesa, you’ll meet Jennifer, whose professionalism ensures a truly special culinary evening. Our two youngest team members, Carolin and Elena, are currently training at the Weisses Kreuz and are on their way to becoming certified restaurant specialists. And when things get busy, we can always rely on our fantastic assistants – Teresa, Nele, and Ruth.
Aura mea – the world of well-being at our hotel in Burgeis. Our SPA manager, Magdalena, and massage therapist, Simone, are the experts in relaxation, wellness, and beauty. With their friendly nature and firm handshake, they delight our guests. When extra hands are needed, we can always count on our massage therapist, Marjan. Yoga instructor Annalisa enchants with her calm presence and serene demeanor. A new addition to the team is Elia, a true all-rounder—you’ll find him leading sauna infusions, performing classic massages, and guiding the weekly aqua gym sessions. And for those who love a good heat wave, our infusion masters, Noel and Veronika, turn up the temperature!
Naila, Abir, Valeria, Joy, Rabeb and Houda our good fairies. They diligently and tirelessly ensure a thoroughly comfortable atmosphere in the rooms and suites in our hotel in Burgeis and in the Mansion zum Löwen. The housekeeping operations are coordinated by our head housekeeper, Marina – with great attention to detail and a keen sense for the little things that make a big difference.
Marc and his ten-member brigade are responsible for daily culinary delights. Together with pastry chef Kay, he creates a new taste experience every day. They are energetically supported by garde manger Daniel and tournant Max. Julian takes care of meat and fish, while Maximilian ensures perfect pasta. In the pastry department, Frederik works his magic with sweet creations every day. In our new gourmet restaurant Mamesa, you'll find Simone at the stove. For the perfect start to your day, breakfast chef Muhammad is in charge, and to ensure that everything is spotless at the end, our dishwashers Umesh and Sunny are always on hand.
Tanned and always in a good mood – that’s our hiking guide Edl. A true Burgeis original, he is a walking Alpine encyclopedia and can sense weather changes in his bones. In winter, hiking guide Stefan will take you on snowshoe tours through the snowy landscapes of Obervinschgau.
Hansjörg, the father of our head chef Marc, supplies our hotel in Burgeis with homemade delicacies – from fresh alpine butter to forest honey.
